Call of Juarez: Gunslinger BSOD

Howdy! The titled game seems very fun and enjoyable but I'm getting frequent BSODs! A google search returned others experiencing similar issues.
There are a couple of websites offering 'graphics fixes' but they look a bit dubious.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with this game?
Running AMD Catalyst 13.4 at the moment. Specs in signature.

Thanks

 

Hmm, I'm no help but for what its worth I can report no issues my way... has been perfectly stable. I have to assume it's an AMD issue. Fun game, good luck getting it sorted!

Edit: checked over on the Steam forums, the developer seems fairly involved over there, might be worth sending him a minidump he has asked a couple other guys for... other than that I'd still assume gpu/drivers.

 

I'd say reducing your OC is your best bet. It might have been stable so far but once a special something comes along, all hell breaks loose..

 

can you download who crashed from my sig below and post the dump report here

 

Well I hope I will stand corrected but I think be77solo had it right there about who crashed..

Just so you know MrDJ, whocrashed cannot detect most black screen crashes.

So turning v-sync off stopped the BSOD (at least I haven't had one yet) but now I get huge graphics artifacts with spikey textures all over the screen.
My overclock is solid as a rock. Can run Far Cry 3 on very high all day long.

 

who said anything about black screen of death as not mentioned above. ever since ive known about computers if BSOD is posted it means BLUE but i guess both starting with the letter B gets confusing.

now if it is a BLACK screen it the drivers.

 

I'm totally useless at debugging but here is the bug code from Event Viewer

Well guess what, I could OC to 950/1450 and play FC3 all day long but for Darksiders 2/Deadspace 3 850/1200 stock clocks is not even possible for more than a few minutes at a time. I've learnt through much frustration that the OC limit for your card depends on the game and there's no real way to tell which game your card's gonna crap out on.

 

Definitely sounds like a GPU issue of some sort, either driver or overclock... I'd try stock clocks as sponge_gto recommends and if that doesn't work, try a different driver version. Haven't seen many issues with AMD drivers mentioned for this game, but guess anything is possible.

 

Tried 13.6 Beta first before lowering overclock but now getting BSOD on other games. Bah! CoJ: G still artifacting like there's no tomorrow.
Guess I should say bye to extra performance and lower my OC
